In this world we will find murder, chaos, and trouble in every shade of hatred.  It spills out it’s sticky substance on all humanity.  And in every fold of man we will find evil corruption.  We are forced, by the nature of our world, to choose what is best from what is worst.  And so our plight will continue.  We don’t vote for the best.  We vote for the best of the worst.

I consider the field available.  What do I see?  I see the horrors of selfishness on the horizion.  The next president will not do any better than the last.  Even if this next is Obama.  So we are left with a bad choice, from the bad choices which will be presented to our table of society.

We eat, then, from what is provided.  And we will all certainly be forced to eat.  The hunger of society demands a leader.  I would rather eat, however, from the table of one who at least cleans the dishes.  If we must be led by someone, I would rather it be someone who proposes we turn from evil and reach our filthy hands toward God.  At least, in that choice, a standard appears which calls for an end to hatred.  And this calling is directed to each individual.  While it ignores the general flavor of humanity.

This is my choice.  You have yours.  Just dropping a dime to help bring clarity to calamity.  Regardless what happens, we appear to be in a ship  called “trouble” together.  At least, in Christianity, we have the framework of hope.
